The knock on the door that day came as a surprise to Gustav Morris, who had not expected a visit from Henrique Deon to the property.

"Good afternoon Mr. Deon. What a pleasant surprise. Dulce is at the Nakamura' farm so I won't be able to serve you something to eat"

"Don't worry about it, Morris. Our talk will be really quick, I have a lot of work to do before the day is out."

"How can I help? Oh, be careful not to step on Stella, her noise will wake up Alexander."

"I see married life has suited you well, Mr Morris."

"Dulce, Alexander and even Stella have provided me with beautiful days, Mr. Deon"

"Glad to hear. I'm here to propose a building before the museum. I think we should do a forest park where everyone can visit, children can play and it would be a beautiful setting for future weddings. Something close to the founders' house."

"Sounds like a good idea, a pretty quick idea to complete actually. I'm going to start working on it."

Life at the Hancock' cabin was starting to become predictable, and to Dulce Morris's surprise, predictable was good. The young woman got up shortly after the sun woke up after having spent the whole night going to feed Alexander. She cooks breakfast for her husband Gustav Morris and they sit at the table to talk. Dulce starts her journey of cleaning the cabin and feeding the newborn while Gustav plays and feeds the cat Stella.

When Gustav went out into the forest in search of food and raw materials for his buildings, Dulce took advantage of the little moment of peace to venture into knitting.

Returning from the forest, when Dulce had already stopped her knitting four times to feed Alexander, Gustav started his work in the construction while Dulce prepared the food, where both met at the table once more.

The predictable was comfortable and hopeful. How long would the young redhead will be happy with the predictable?

Dulce was increasingly interested in knitting. Now that the wedding was close, she wanted to make her own dress. The ceremony would not be grand, nor memorable. It would just be Dulce and Gustav exchanging vows in front of the lake. No one would participate, and yet, the young redhead was excited.

She had also been trying to work on her relationship with Alexander Hancock. Her heart still had that part where she rejected her son, but an ever-growing part loving him. Alexander would not inherit the Morris surname, Dulce had promised that no one would ever know who her child's father was, and although Gustav was more than willing to play the role of little Alex's father, he would still be a Hancock. Not that the young woman was going to say it out loud, and maybe she just didn't realize it yet, but her whole heart hoped that Alex would bring much more pride to the Hancocks than the previous three generations.

A meeting was organized in Dulce's small house. All seven founders gathered to meet the new inhabitant of Valeree. Alexander was not planned, not expected but would henceforth be very, very loved.

As the day dawned, Dulce decided to clear her mind by cooking one of her favorite foods. It was very smart of the young woman to have collected food on the way to her new home, now with luck, she wouldn't need to go the forest looking for food until the birth of the bastard. One less worry in the sea of worries.

The young woman did not expect to receive a visit from Gustav Morris that afternoon, but she should have known that Mr. Morris is a complete gentleman. Gustav prowled the perimeter making sure the young redhead was safe, and brought firewood to keep her warm during the dead of winter.

Gustav would be a great husband one day… and Dulce couldn't understand what that feeling in her belly was. Something that rose through her body and brought warmth and comfort to her heart.

In an attempt to forget about the disastrous conversation in the forest, Dulce gladly accepted the company of Mr Yuri Nakamura as a good distraction. Both ended up becoming close during the days on the boat, and every day at some point, they would lie on the floor of the boat and try to find clouds with fun shapes. It was good to have that back.

Dulce promised herself that she would control her romantic instincts. Maybe Kylie was right, a decent woman doesn't kiss everyone all the time.

But Dulce was never decent, nor good at keeping promises either.

Gustav Morris spent the next few days more introverted than Miss Mila Babin. He was a man on a mission, his focus completely on the job. It didn't take long for progress to start showing.

In yet another discussion about priority, it was decided that there was no point in having a place to shower if they were going to put on dirty clothes again. Gustav then collected branches and built a small container to store the dirty clothes. On one of his explorations in the forest, he found clay in a part of the forest where the snow was beginning to melt, mixing some of the melted snow, he created something that resembled pottery. So he decided to build a bench where they could relieve themselves without having to run into the forest when the urge strikes. He also built a large pot, where they could use melted snow to wash clothes and towels. Mila decided to use some of her ink to color the pot.

The construction of the room took longer, the walls needed to be robust and the roof strong enough to protect them from the wind. All it took was the construction of a bathtub to put an end to the first project in the region.

And although Gustav Morris would never admit it out loud, a hot shower can really improve a person's mood.

The walk was not as Dulce imagined. In the girl's mind, the conversation would end as soon as the curious eyes were left behind. It was no secret that Dulce knew the men of her former province very well. Gustav Morris was one of them. The young woman still remembered the first time they were together, Gustav was summoned for his first battle. On his last night before going to war, he decided to venture under the skirt of a very willing Dulce.

That's not what happened this time. Mr. Morris was genuinely intrigued about her animals, which kept Dulce talking for hours. There were few things in the world that Dulce loved more than her pets. They also talked about dreams and possible plans. Gustav wishes he could one day find his way back home to his biological parents. Dulce wishes she could have plans. When she realized, sunlight gave way to moonlight and Dulce completely forgot to fulfill her role of cooking dinner for everyone.

"We need to go back or everyone will starve"

"I'm absolutely certain that Miss Babin, Yamamoto and Edwards wouldn't let us starve to death. But you're right, let's go back."

"It's a pity we didn't find any animals around… do you believe this place is uninhabited?"

"It's always a possibility Miss Hancock, and it's also a possibility that they're waiting for the end of the winter."

Before Dulce could continue walking, her hands were taken and placed a light kiss on both. She was delighted. Was this how decent women were treated?

"Thank you for the pleasure of your company this afternoon. You certainly saved me from dying of exhaustion."

The wind from that morning came back to blow on Dulce's face, and before the redhead could respond to Mr. Morris's comment, their lips met in a new kind of kiss.

The kind of kiss where there is only room for affection, respect and care. Very different from the kisses Dulce was used to.

On the way back, Dulce was amazed at how that day had unfolded. There were no promises, and maybe nothing else ever happened, but Morris would always have a place in Dulce's newfound heart.

Her mother was right. The wind always brings good omen.

Gustav needed to advance in building the house before the next sims meeting to decide the next steps. He really wanted this house built, and maybe showing others that the project was moving forward would be enough for them not to put anything else as a construction priority. They would have a home before the end of winter. Gustav was sure of that.

"Hello Mr. Morris. Don't you ever rest? You'll end up dying exhausted and not having someone so incredibly good at manual skills will end up killing all the rest of us."

"I see you're excited today, Miss Hancock. But it's not like we have much else to do in the middle of nowhere."

"Take me on a walk. I'm looking for animals in this place, I miss my eight cats and three dogs at home miserably. Life is so much happier with animals, don't you think Mr Morris?"

"How exactly did you end up with eight cats and three dogs at home?

"Take me on a walk and I'll tell you."
